1st Access Checking

Our student checking account is designed to be an ideal starter checking account, available to anyone age 18-25. As you’ll see in the features listed below, this student-friendly checking account has a very low opening balance requirement and does not require a minimum balance or burden students on a budget with a monthly fee. Even if you’re not a student, you can still take advantage of this super flexible checking account.

With FREE access to ATMs, 1st Access Checking is a smart starter checking account for students who need access to their cash without the worry over the ATM fees most other banks charge. Online Banking, Bill Pay and Mariner360 make keeping on top of your finances easy. For added convenience, when a 1st Access Checking account holder reaches age 26, his/her account will automatically convert to a 1st Mariner Absolutely Simple Checking account on the next account cycle following the date of that person’s 26th birthday. It’s that easy to get more from your starter checking account with 1st Mariner’s 1st Access Checking.

FREE Harland Clarke® Mariner-style checks. (The bank provides free Harland Clarke® Mariner-style checks with this product, the shipping and handling fee will be charged to the customer. Checks will be shipped by CheckProtect, a secure and trackable check delivery system to help prevent identity theft.)
